A Radical Challenge

The
Buddha presented a radical challenge to the way we see the world, both
the world that was seen two millennia ago and the world that is seen
today. What he taught is not different, it is not an alternative, it is
the opposite. That the path that we think will lead us to happiness
leads instead to sorrow. That what we believe is true is instead false.
That what we imagine to be real is unreal. A certain value lies in
remembering that challenge from time to time.

- Donald S. Lopez, "The Scientific Buddha"
